Your mechanic doesn't know what he is doing either. Take your car to a mechanic who is trained to work on BMWs.

Next time I'll just take this DIY and ask them to follow it. I never got an engine overheat signal (at least not when I was operating the vehicle). I live in San Francisco so the temperatures are pretty moderate.
This morning I ran the venting procedure again when the engine was bone cold and removed the excess coolant with a siphon because it was past the max indicator. Apparently the mechanic added too much distilled water when topping off.
Do I have to bleed or vent again because I removed some coolant from the reservoir?
